Berger Weathercoat WC300 Paint

Berger Paints is a name with deep historical roots in the global coatings industry. The brand was originally established in the United Kingdom by Lewis Berger in 1760. Over more than two centuries, the brand expanded globally, leading to the creation of various independent entities and regional powerhouses.

In the context of the South Asian market, Berger Paints India Limited emerged as the primary guardian of the brand. While the name Berger is shared by different companies worldwide (such as Berger Paints Jamaica or Berger Paints Nigeria, often under different ownership like the ANSA McAl Group), Berger Paints India Limited is a completely independent, publicly traded entity and is currently the second-largest paint company in India.

Manufacturing for the Indian and neighboring markets is primarily handled through a vast network of state-of-the-art facilities across India, including plants in Howrah, Rishra, Pondicherry, and Goa. The company has also expanded its manufacturing footprint internationally to countries like Poland, Nepal, and Bangladesh to serve regional demands. The ultimate ownership of the Indian operations lies with the Dhingra family, who acquired the majority stake in the 1990s through their investment vehicles.
